"[The] directions take you on a turn-by-turn route to Taxiway Bravo. From there, it's a direct shot across the main runway to the terminal.

"At least twice in the past three weeks, drivers from out of town who followed the directions on their iPhones not only reached airport property, but also crossed the runway and drove to the airport ramp side of the passenger terminal."

Not surprisingly, that hasn't gone over well with the airport authorities. Melissa Osborn, chief of operations at Fairbanks International, says, "These folks drove right past several signs. They even drove past a gate. None of that cued them that they did something inappropriate."
